Well, the thing is...wait, 36? You're seriously 36 years old? Okay, hey, forget about it. I can't explain it, you've proved me wrong, and I believe that your friend filed a lawsuit that resulted in substantial gain. I apologize for doubting you and should have never questioned your story--it was wrong of me and a waste of everyone's time.
LOL, I think you forgot that "patronizing" tag so here...\patronizing. And, for the record, I'm on your side with this. Shit got serious all of a sudden.
